CPI (M) withdraw candidates from four wards of Agartala Municipal Corporation

The CPI (M) has withdrawn its four candidates from election in as many wards of Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) in protest against the ‘Violent means’ of the ruling BJP and intimidation of voters .

To protest the inaction of the state administration in tackling the law and order situation and alleged ‘Violent means’ of BJP a large group of CPI (M) workers led by the party’s West District secretary Pabitra Kar laid a siege around the office of the SDM (Sadar) Tapan Kumar Das .

The CPI (M) is likely to brief the media on the issue after receiving feedback from other poll-bound parts of the state.
